Making a simple Evernote app?

[GiacomoLaw 125]

Hi all

I'm looking to get started with the Evernote api. Is there a tutorial that tells me how to make a simple app that creates a note and saves it to the default notebook?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.  I think you need the Developers forums...

What do you mean?

I don't really like Stackoverflow, they are pretty negative.

My understanding was that's where the developers now hang out.  Other than that you could try here.. https://dev.evernote.com/doc/

The Evernote Developers site is at https://dev.evernote.com/ 

with documentation at https://dev.evernote.com/doc/ 

sample code for creating a note at https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/creating_notes.php

I haven't gotten into it yet.  As a Mac user I have access to a scripting tool (Applescript) that satisfies my programming itch

Okay, thanks. I'll check out those links.

Hi GiacomoLaw,

Yeah, I agree that SO can tend to be strict about what is posted there - I've found the criticism and downvotes can be best mitigated by being as specific as you possibly can, and by including code that you've tried which is exhibiting the issue(s) you're trying to solve.  Having said that, as others have explained here, it *is* the place where Evernote has chosen to conduct developer support now, so that's where you have to go for help.

One thing if/when you post there - be sure to be specific about what language/platform you're planning to use, as you didn't mention it above.  (Needless to say it makes a big difference in getting answers!)
